Foo fighters are horrible, you made the right choice, no surprise that their bland fans were impressed by their bland music

Billy Graham's Gospel Roadshow.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Do you mean playing guitar with yourself? two hours...werdna wrote:Once a woman asked me to go to see popular easy listening duo the Lighthouse Family, in London 1996. I made an excuse and didn't go. No doubt quite a boring gig. That particular two hours of my life were not wasted.I got to spend them watching tv and playing with myself.
What's the worst gig that you were invited to but didn't attend?
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

Yeah... To be honest it was pretty bloody epic.Danger Mouse wrote: The guy who invited me was pretty adamant it was (and still is, as far as I know) the best concert he's ever been to. I'd like to think people were full of shit but I've been told too many times by too many people just how good it was.

pure gold.The Scarecrow wrote:A few years back, mates of mine tried to get me to watch the feelers around Xmas. I used to like them back in the late 90's, but quickly went off them after an altercation with the singer who drunkenly hit on my then-girlfriend in front of me at a bar my mate worked at around 2001 or so. He was of the mindset that my presence was only a minor obstacle his bedding my rather attractive lady at the time (effectively said words to this effect), and I would honestly say at the time, he was the biggest wanker I've ever met. Put me right off them.
A couple of my mates went to said gig, where there were about 10-20 people in attendance. Apparently it was very bad; watching these guys drone out half-assed versions of their hits with kind with all the enthusiasm of Michael Murphy being called up for his annual Xmas In the Park gig... you know it's a gig... but it's the gig you just shouldn't play.
There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

There's actually a 'Petition to stop The Feelers' Facebook page...I suspect largely made up of former techs and tour mates...jeremyb wrote:Thats gold, said singer from the feelers got thrown out of a solo gig a while ago down here in chch for being too drunk to perform... munter.
